Sophia Cheros: #3...Personal Statement
I've been playing basketball since I was five years old, and I am 100% committed to becoming the best student-athlete that I can become. I will do everything in my power to make sure that happens. I can't imagine my life without basketball, and I hope to fulfill my dreams of continuing my career in college. I attend a highly recognized college preparatory school that is known for its rigorous and challenging curriculum. I work hard on the court and in the classroom, and my goal is to attend a college that challenges me both athletically and academically.
I have been a leader on my high school team since sophomore year, and I strive to always be the hardest worker in the room. Aside from basketball, I compete in Varsity Weightlifting and I am a member of the Varsity Lacrosse Team. Girls' Weightlifting is the same season as basketball. After more than three years of managing both, I am used to lifting for an hour and a half to two hours, then playing basketball for two hours right afterwards. From this, I have learned how to effectively manage my time, which will help in college. Weightlifting is one of my passions, and it has made me so much stronger for basketball. In lacrosse, I play defense, which has helped to improve my foot speed. I also play backup goalie to one of the top goalies in the country, and aside from lacrosse, I have learned a lot about dedication, hard work, and communication from her.
My strength in basketball is definitely my shooting and my court vision. Giving a great assist to a teammate or getting a tough rebound makes me even more excited than I am after hitting a three. I am working hard to strengthen the other parts of my game, such as driving to the basket and drawing fouls.
Thank you so much for taking the time to consider me while looking at my profile!
